Does burnt hair grow back?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It entirely depends on level the burn took place. For mild burns hair regrowth usually takes places once the scalp gets healed.

View allI've been dealing with a lot of dryness on my skin lately, and I'm not sure what to do. I heard about Luliconazole cream and was wondering if it's a good option to use for dryness. Also, I've started washing my hair daily with an anti-dandruff shampoo because my scalp gets really flaky. Is that okay to do, or could it be making the dryness worse?

Can I use desonide cream to help with my skin tone? Is it safe for someone like me with dark, oily skin and acne marks?
Desonide cream is a topical corticosteroid primarily used to treat skin inflammation and allergies; while it may temporarily lighten skin tone due to its anti-inflammatory effects, using it for fairness is not recommended, as prolonged use can lead to skin thinning, acne, and other adverse effects, especially on oily and acne-prone skin.
